Zambia’s multi-agency approach to fighting corruption has gained further momentum as our International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR) training team conducted another successful workshop on financial investigations and asset recovery in Lusaka. This was the fourth in a series of five workshops under our train-the-trainer (TTT) programme for Zambia.

Corruption in the timber trade is a serious threat, economically and environmentally. Forest-rich countries in Latin America are particularly exposed.

Those include Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru, where our Green Corruption programme has been working with forestry authorities and environmental agencies to help them assess and mitigate corruption risks.

At the Basel Institute, we know that much valuable expertise is gained “on the job” through training, mentoring and hands-on experience. Our existing learning opportunities meet these needs and empower communities of international professionals.
